Dream Big is a book written for children who enjoy using their imagination. These children dream of the unthinkable with such creativity. With the help of my daughter, ZaMyah, I wrote the book to make sure that children know its ok to believe and dream the impossible. A child's imagination is a place so full of life and creativity. Their minds automatically create magical adventures. I love listening to little kids tell stories. Because of that, I decided to represent the children around the world and share my imagination with them.

Jamie’s family has been broken since she was ten years old, and she was placed with her aunt and uncle who were childless on purpose.

She leaves Florida for New York to pursue her dreams at Clarkmore University. In the first week, she meets roommates Scott Scotch and Duncan Buchanan. One is the perfect boy for her, the other is his roommate... problem is, Jamie doesn't quite see at first which is which.

Perfect isn't always obvious, and it takes a severe reality check and a moment of heartbreak like none she's felt in ten years to make Jamie see what has been in front of her all along.
